The list that Bud Whitaker gave us on all the Whit's in Ind. is wonderful. I was hoping that more people could do this to other states. who knows this could help a lot of the whitaker researchers. So if anyone wants to work on a special state. why not drop a line and we can try another state. I'll give a try to Ill. . how about you? what state would you like to reseach? The way Bud did it is great. perhaps we could follow his outline... thanks everyone. Don;t feel shy if somone wants to help me with Ill. be glad to have any help... Janet whitaker
